"I have nightmares about paparazzi. I always have these flashing things in my dreams. They're so scary," he explained.

"I was going to tweet about [the paparazzi] the other day, but I was afraid people might be mean to me, which they often are. Please don't be mean to me on Twitter. I'm just a guy. I'm just a guy with a dream."

Cyrus, who has been dating Gaston since last year, recently admitted that she was not ready to move in with him.
